About Jeanne McManus

1 post in this topic

We're fortunate to have Jeanne McManus, the current editor of The Washington Post Food section, join us for a few days of questions and answers. Feel free to start posting your questions, thoughts and ideas now and Jeanne will begin addressing them on Wednesday June 5th.

As with our previous eGullet Q&A's--to post your question click on "New Topic." That way each question on this forum is kept separate--and Jeanne can respond to you personally. If any eGulleteer--newbies from Austin or Chicago or Hartford or Atlanta or indeed anywhere else--has any technical or logistical questions about this--feel free to message or e-mail me. I'll talk you through it.

Jeanne became Food editor in 1999 and since then, her section has garnered critical acclaim--most notably the 5 James Beard award nominations for Newspaper Journalism in 2001 and winning 3--Best Column, Best Feature, Best News Story.

Fifth generation Washingtonian, a product of 16 years of local Catholic education (Blessed Sacrament grade school, Georgetown Visitation High School, Trinity College). Could win the Nobel Prize and still be known first and foremost as Tony Kornheiser's friend Nancy. Live with husband, David Stang, in Bethesda. And no I don't have a great kitchen. I have a lousy electric stove and a 22-year-old toaster oven."
